A fossil of one of my favorite childhood dinosaurs, the Ankylosaurus!

Thank you! 🖤🤍

Thank you!

I love the digital take on the underworld theme, so cool! Also this color palette is amazing, did you put these colors together yourself?? Either way, you used them very well!

I love this little cylinder, slice of a different world viewpoint we have, it’s a very cool perspective to give the viewer!

Since this is in the sprite sheet category, I would call this a success because I really want to play this now! Nice work, love this ❤︎

I love a little adventurer! The blue and the glowing sword is making me think of Sting from the Lord of the Rings, and I really like it! This makes me feel like he’s in a game, and I could just plug in a controller and start playing. Also I really like how you have some soft shading on the hero, but the ghost is all outlines, great work!

You used some BOLD colors and I love it! I think super high intensity, high contrast, is rarely executed this well. The bright white and orange glow almost gives a photographic effect, like when you try to take a picture of something super bright. And I think that enhances the feeling that this is a real place. Great work, I really like this!

I really like the visuals and your description of this monster! I think some of the scariest enemies in fantasy are the ones that are more of an entity or a hunger itself, rather than a person or animal. And the fact that you can only see the mouth and teeth shrouds the rest of this creature in mystery. So good!

This looks super cool! The box shaped robot with the little legs almost reminds me of the enemy from It Steals, except this one isn’t quite as creepy!

I really like when people do game concept art, this looks great! Super happy someone did a retro Gameboy submission. Did you use a color palette, or make your own? This almost looks like a Nintendo GB color palette I found on color hex a while back

Cool tileset!

Thank you!

At first glance I just saw generic overgrowth, and I love that you can see hands emerge as you examine this piece!! So creepy and vivid, I really like the feeling you were able to portray with this artwork!

Oh thank you so much, that’s so kind! I really appreciate your kind words, that means a lot!! ❤︎

Love an underground city! The art style kind of reminds me of Sandboxels, super cute!

Thank you so much!

A low poly “3D” nautilus shell! This fossil washed up on the beach, what a lucky find!

I really like the speed and scale! The detail of Juniper’s legs running fast while the big creature can take slow steady strides to go the same speed because he’s so big is great! And being in a tunnel gives a great feeling of being trapped. There’s only one way out, and we have to run away as fast as we can! Great work ❤︎

Thank you so much, I appreciate it! ❤︎

This is like a pixel short film, this is awesome! I love how seamlessly you go between light in the sun, dark under the ocean, and how the contrast is low as we’re pulled through the murky water and then high contrast as we’re confronted by the big scary eye. You portray, peace, fear, helplessness, confrontation, and the feeling of finally getting a breath of air, all in just a few frames! Excellent stuff, I can tell a lot of effort and polish was put into this ❤︎

Thank you so much!! I really wanted to challenge myself by using only two values, and I’m very happy the end result is appreciated ❤︎

I like this a lot! I don’t often see geometry used for underworld imagery or horror. But I think the repeating lines and patterns overlapping endlessly gives the viewer a sense of entrapment, and lostness. Great job!

Oh wow, thank you! That means a lot to me, I’m very thankful you like my art! ❤︎

Love your use of color! I’ve seen a lot of Greek underworld art themed around Hades, and I feel like I most commonly see a red hellish style or a sickly green style. I really like the choice to use purple, and I love the crystals! Perfectly conveys that “eerie but beautiful” look, it’s so good!

Thank you so much, Jamebotnik! I really appreciate it ❤︎

Love it! I think a lot of us went with a darker, more mysterious underworld. And I really like seeing a happier scene of some ants just thriving in their own little underworld, so funny and cute!

Thank you so much, that means a lot! I’ve been practicing this style for a while, I’m really glad people enjoy my art ❤︎

I never considered doing this jam from the perspective of being “under” and looking up, very original!

Thank you!

I love the contrast and symmetry, and your narrative to go with this piece!

Thank you! I’ve been watching other artists do only 2 colors or “1 bit” style for a long time, and now I’m teaching myself how to do it too!

In a way, yes it’s all dithering, but there’s more to it than just the checkerboard pattern most people think of. You can pick from different patterns or just dot your brush to make nice looking transitions between color A and color B. The rest of the art principles are more or less the same as any other style, the challenge is getting your shapes to read well with only 2 colors. I made this a while back to practice better 1 bit textures if you want to see!

My favorite prehistoric fossil, the trilobite!

Understandable, it’s a pretty short game, thank you for taking the time to play!

Thanks for the feedback, I updated the game with a slightly larger pool and changed the randomization so you will never get the same minigame twice! Thanks for playing!

Thank you, I spent a lot of time and art and animations, this comment means a lot!!

The games changing slightly with each play and getting out of hand would have been a great idea, I just didn’t think of it during the jam! Glad you liked the art, thanks for playing!

Thank you for bringing this up, I updated the game to prevent the player from getting the same minigames twice in a row! You will now get a minigame chosen randomly from only the minigames that aren’t the one you last played. And I added a new minigame, so the total pool is 4 instead of 3 games. Thank you for playing!

Thank you!
